A photograph of a man in profile leaning his head and forehead against the trunk of a large banyan-type tree with aerial roots. He has long, dark, swept-back hair, wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and bare upper body, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, and a gold armlet on his upper arm. His eyes are closed and he appears to be in a moment of quiet devotion or meditation, with his right hand resting on the bark. Green foliage and soft blurred background surround him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and gold adornments are the qualifying cues for this figure.
